HDMI Color Space – ‘Color Space’ refers to the number of individual colors that can be displayed on the screen. If you know the color space capability for the connected TV, you can match it by selecting one of these options.

We recommend you select ‘Auto’.

HDMI Deep Color – sets the level of Deep Color processing applied to the HDMI video output. You can select ‘Auto’ or ‘Off’. If this option is set to Auto and your TV supports Deep Color, the screen displays colors at 30-, 36- or 48-bit accuracy (compared to the 24-bit accuracy of standard color). Check the documentation that came with your TV to see if your TV supports Deep Color. All system HDMI interconnect cables must be Deep Color compatible in order to use 30/36-bit Deep Color signals.

NOTE

If you experience a flickering or abnormal picture after changing the Deep Color setting, connect the unit using a Composite video cable and change the setting to a value supported by the display.

HDMI 1080p 24Hz – You can select ‘Auto’ or ‘Off’. Movies are recorded on film at a rate of 24 pictures (frames) per second. Many of the movies on Blu-ray Discs are placed on the discs at this frame rate. If your TV supports 24 frames per second, but you would prefer to view the video at a higher frame rate, you should turn off HDMI 1080p 24Hz.

NOTE

<<1080/24p video signals can only be output using the HDMI connection.

<<The connected equipment (AV receiver, TV/ projector) must be 1080/24p compatible.

<<The output resolution must be set to 1080p or HDMI Auto.

HDMI 3D – To turn the 3D feature (if available) on or off. You can select ‘Auto’ or ‘Off’.

Digital Out – Sets the audio format output from the OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT connections.

You can select:

<<PCM – Outputs the signal as processed audio ready for any receiver. Use this when your receiver cannot decode the movie soundtrack on the disc.

<<Bitstream – Outputs the movie soundtrack without any processing. This option requires a receiver that supports the movie soundtrack format.

<<Bitstream Re-encode– Combines all audio signals and outputs as DTS, Dolby, or PCM depending on the audio stream on the disc.

NOTE

The signal at the HDMI output is also determined by the formats supported by the connected equipment.

HDMI Out – Sets the audio format output from the HDMI connection.

You can select:

<<PCM – (as above).

<<Bitstream – (as above).

<<Bitstream Re-encode –Automatically selects the HDMI digital signal type according to the audio stream on the disc.

Down Sampling – Set the maximum sample rate of audio output from the OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT.

<<48kHz – (most compatible) Select this option if the TV speakers, amplifier, or home theater is not capable of handling signals over 48kHz sampling rate. If you do not have an audio receiver or TV connected to your player through one of the digital audio jacks (optical or coaxial), select 48kHz. See the documentation that came with the receiver or TV.

<<96kHz – Select this option if the TV speakers, amplifier, or home theater is capable of handling a digital sampling rate of 96kHz

<<192kHz – (best quality) Select this option if the TV speakers, amplifier, or home theater is capable of handling a digital sampling rate of 192kHz.

NOTE

If the connected equipment (e.g. AV receiver) does not support 96kHz or 192kHz audio, silence or loud noise may result from this setting. If this happens, set Down Sampling to 48kHz.

Dynamic Range – Selects the Dynamic Range Control mode to ‘Off’ or ‘On’.

Dynamic Range is the range between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones. If set to ‘On’ you can listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing sound clarity.

<<Off – No dynamic range compression

<<On – Dynamic range compression.
